Slatterly Park Neighborhood

The Slatterly Park Neighborhood is an older downtown neighborhood in Rochester, and we are revitalizing our neighborhood.

This past year we have gotten both young and old out of the house to help plant 75 new boulevard trees with three separate plantings this year! The trees were purchased by the neighborhood association through funds raised at our Art on the Ave.,  Saturdays at Slatterly Music, and Movie in the Park events which highlight our neighborhood.

The tree planting is healthy exercise and great for mental health as it is a great way to connect generations, and give kids a chance to hold on to a sense of community we are developing. We may be a lower income neighborhood, but that is not stopping us from improving our daily lives!
